Which road? I 'll look out for it next time I am down Bristol as its probably the same as mine.

Could well be the same, looking at your signature pic. I can't remember the name of the road - first left off Ashley Down Road coming away from Gloucester Road.

A White MK3 awaiting recovery on Shields Road Wishaw after a heavy front end shunt. A real shame but thankfully everyone got out ok. :(

Black MK2, * *** WPC (I think) in Wimbledon town centre this morning.

I gave the guy a big thumbs up but he looked blankly at me and sped off down the road...

Excellent! Another local rocco!

I saw you on St George's Road - I must admit, I had my arm around my wife when I gave you the thumbs up, so you might not have seen it. She doesn't understand why I'd want to give a complete stranger a thumbs up, so I was trying to hide it from her!!! :hehe:

I live in Wimbledon. I just drove past a silver GT parked on Arterberry Road, about half way up towards the village. F*** CDY - is that you?

Perhaps the sneaky thumbs was missed as it was sneaky!

That's me!! I travel quite regularly between Wimbledon and mid-Bedfordshire, and *never* see another Scirocco on my travels. And it turns out there's been one in my home patch all along!! Nice one :D

I don't think I have seen another Scirocco in Wimbledon aside from a faded red Mark 1 and a few Mark 3s (which don't count :yup: )

I shall watch out for you . . .

Silver mk2 on a G-plate spotted this morning 8:30am.
It was queuing south on the A49 at the A5 (M54) roundabout.

Looked like it had an extra pair of fogs fitted...

2 mk 2's in one day yesterday. I saw a dark blue or black H reg coming away from Hebden Bridge at about 8.35, (got a wave from driver and passenger) and a silver possibly H reg on Deansgate, Manchester, at 6.15ish. Great day for roc spotting.
